Monday, 6 P.M.

Dear Folks:

The letters were hear waiting when I got home to-night.  I did not get mine off to you yesterday as I went to church first, later for a long walk and then spent the evening with the Naylors.  I went over there for supper intending to return directly afterward to wrote to both you and Bernise but kept talking until the evening had passed away.  Now I am hurrying to get it in before I have to leave for evening school.

So far as I know now I may get home for this weekend, but I think I shall put it off for another week since I expect we get Monday, March 27, for a visiting day and I could stay over until Monday morning, going directly from Stoughton to Arlington, Brookline or wherever I decide to visit.

To-night I straightened out some of my books.  My closet had been littered.  Some I put back into the regular closet;  others I sorted and packed;  so now I feel quite dressed up.

My blue serge dress, by the way, is a great comfort.  It seems good to have it in good condition ready to put on.

I am planning a supper for the Seniors, March 31.  We are to have quite a time.  Fine decorations, toats, songs, cheers and other entertainment, I expect.  I hope that it goes off well.

You got way ahead of me on the birds.  I have not seen any yet.  During the vacation I did see a large woodpecker that had a red spot on the back of his head-breast speckled - that was a flocker, wasn't it?  They stay with us all winter, don't they?  Yesterday I got some pussy willows which were not very far advanced.  Mrs. Hodges puts them into water until they come out as much as she wants them.

Quite a few of our teachers are out sick;  one has lost her father and thinks of bringing her mother here, I understand.
